Chapter 39: Shisui's Determination to Stop the Coup
The conversation between Sasuke and Naruto made Shisui smile knowingly, remembering the time when he practiced against Itachi.
When he met Itachi for the first time, Itachi was also at the same age.
After training again and again, he grew up to be a ninja who is now alone.
He joined Anbu and Root respectively, and worked hard to protect the village and Uchiha.
Naruto and Sasuke, good friends, will follow the path of him and Itachi in the future and continue to guard the village.
This is the inheritance of the will of fire, and it is also the belief that he has dedicated everything to.
After observing silently for a while, Shisui did not step forward to disturb Naruto and Sasuke, but chose to leave silently.
The relationship between the clan and the village is already tense, and it would be bad if his approach to Jinchuriki is misunderstood by the Third Hokage, and maybe he will even lose the trust of the Third Hokage.
'However, when did I start to believe in the will of fire?
Was it during the ninja school period, or after becoming a ninja, on the way to perform missions with friends, or on the battlefield of the ninja world war?
I can not remember...'
Shisui squinted his eyes slightly, his eyes were a little blurred, but soon he didn't care about these unreasonable distracting thoughts.
He still had business to attend to and he had no time to think about these trivial matters.
Preventing Captain Fugaku's coup is the most important thing.
...
Seemingly aware of the disappearance of Shisui, Sasuke raised his head and looked around, but saw nothing.
Feeling a little strange, Sasuke asked Naruto, "I felt a little uncomfortable just now as if someone was peeping at us. Did you have a similar feeling?"
Naruto said with a smile, "It's your illusion, I didn't feel anything."
When Naruto said this, Sasuke also felt that he was too sensitive.
He and Naruto were both ninja school students. Why would someone be so bored as to peep at them?
Seeing that the sky was getting dark, Sasuke said, "Let's stop here today, we will continue tomorrow. The shadow clone training you introduced is very useful. Sooner or later, I will be able to defeat you."
"I'm waiting for that day."
Naruto responded to Sasuke casually, but he was thinking about the peeping sight just now.
What Sasuke said just now was true.
When they were sparring against each other, they were indeed watched by many people, including Anbu, and the Third Hokage who peeked at them from time to time.
But the peeping eyes just now did not belong to the Anbu and the Third Hokage, which faintly gave him a feeling of palpitation.
Is it Shimura Danzo? Or Uchiha Obito?
Naruto immediately thought of these two people, they both have the strength to threaten him.
The former is the master of Wind release, whose strength is not inferior to the five Kages, and the latter is the owner of a Mangekyo Sharingan and can use the overpowered technique Kamui.
The two of them can be said to be the dark horses of the ninja world.
"Naruto, the person who peeped at you just now appeared near the Uchiha Clan. He came from the direction of the Hokage Building and walked towards the Uchiha Clan."
When Naruto was guessing, Nine Tails said abruptly.
"Thank you Nine Tails..."
After saying thank you, Naruto narrowed the range of guesses, and quickly locked onto Uchiha Shisui, and related memories emerged in his mind.
Shisui is an Uchiha who believes in the will of fire, and he hopes that Uchiha and Konoha will live in harmony.
But because of Danzo's sneak attack, he lost his Mangekyo Sharingan.
In order to avoid the war between Uchiha and Konoha, he chose to commit suicide on a cliff near Naka Shrine, and entrusted his ideal and another Mangekyo Sharingan to Uchiha Itachi.
Mangekyo Sharingan, Kotoamatsukami, these are all forces that can threaten him.
If Shisui was spying on him, it would be reasonable for him to feel a sense of crisis.
After all, the Mangekyo Sharingan can control the tailed beast, and Kotoamatsukami can modify his will, both of which are very dangerous.
However, Nine Tails just said that Shisui came out of the Hokage Building?
Naruto fell into deep thought, Shisui must have told the Tjird Hokage about his pupil technique just now.
Normal people would not tolerate the existence of this kind of pupil skills in the hands of others.
What's more, the Third Hokage has been in power for many years, and he is a coward who is afraid of death.
Thinking of this, Naruto glanced at the pitch-black grove, and sighed softly.
From now on, his sleep time will probably be greatly reduced.
Although he knew that Shisui will committ suicide by jumping off a cliff in the end, he didn't know which cliff he committed suicide from.
All preparations must be made in advance.
...
A few weeks later, outside the security building.
Shisui looked at the office where Fugaku was, and sighed softly in his heart.
He has been hanging out with the clan these days, witnessing how the clan violently treats the villagers and offends the civilian ninjas, thus making most people stand against Uchiha.
The more he learned, the more worried he was about the Uchiha's future.
Even if he really controls Captain Fugaku, he can only slightly ease the outbreak of the conflict.
As time goes on, sooner or later a new conflict will break out between the garrison and the villagers.
What made it even more difficult for him to accept was that he couldn't find a chance to be alone with Captain Fugaku, and slowly modify his will.
And tonight, the clan will hold a final meeting at the Naka Shrine, announcing a coup against the high-level, which will be his last chance to make a move.
What should be done to completely avoid the conflict between the clan and the village?
Shisui was very confused. After walking for a while, he walked towards the outskirts of the clan.
He made an appointment with Itachi to directly control Captain Fugaku at the clan meeting.
At this moment, a sneaky figure appeared behind Shisui.
Shisui noticed it, and activated the body flicker technique to appear behind the visitor.
After finding that the visitor was wearing Anbu's mask, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Anbu? Please also tell the third Hokage that I will stop the Uchiha coup."
The ninja suspected of beimg an Anbu shook his head, "I'm not Hokage's subordinate, I'm Danzo-sama's subordinate, and I belong to the root that protects Konoha. Danzo-sama asked you to go to the root organization."
Shisui frowned slightly, "Master Danzo wants to find me? I'm sorry, I don't have the time."
He knew Danzo, the other party was the leader of the root organization, Itachi's immediate superior, and also a comrade-in-arms of the Hokage.
The root ninja said, "Master Danzo knows what you think, so he deliberately plans to discuss the future of Uchiha with you. If you don't go, Master Danzo will not force you."
After finishing speaking, the root Ninja made a gesture of killing.
Shisui was a little hesitant, but he followed for the sake of his family.
Although Danzo had a bad reputation in the Jōnin class, he was the village's top management and his grandfather's comrade-in-arms after all.
He is still under the command of the Third Hokage, so he shouldn't face any problems.
Not long after, Shisui came to the periphery of the root base, and at the entrance, he saw Danzo, the leader of the root, who was covered in bandages.
